A sole card and dice game of a scout set in the Lensman series

"Anaxis is a tactical space wargame, using
ship counters and hex paper. It's moderate in
complexity and detail (especially when
compared to some other games in the genre).
For instance, while each ship is kept track of
separately, its weapons are grouped into
"primary" and "secondary" banks. It has some
unique die mechanics that speed things along,
and there's little to write down, so a large
battle can be played out in a few hours."
"The rules come with six different races, each
with four main-line ships and one special ship
that can bend the rules in some way. It also
has several small scenarios to get you up and
playing quickly."

"Zoom through space. Destroy alien spaceships."
This is a game published in the Countermoves Zine
Vol. 1 Issue 2. It uses the Countermoves Generic
